Dr. John Henry Floto received a diploma from the institution and located in California, where, in January, 1896, he enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest practicing homœopathist in the world.


Dr. Christian Frederic Geist was a member of the academy in 1836 and afterward practiced in Boston.


Dr. Charles Haeseler graduated in 1836, and located first at Lewistown and later at Pottsville.


Dr. Jacob Schmidt, born at Kreuznach, Ger-

The Lehigh Valley Homoeopathic Medical Society was organized at Allentown in April 7, 1881, with Dr. Daniel Yoder as president, Dr. F. J. Slough as secretary, and Dr. W. A. Hassler as treasurer, and the organization has been main- tained until the present time. The membership now numbers 30.


The Homoeopathic Pharmaceutical Society of Pennsylvania was organized at Allentown in 1881 and this was the first society of this school of medicine in the world. Dr. F. E.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.


295


VETERINARIANS.


From the beginning of the first settlements until the year 1889, the practice of medicine and surgery in connection with domestic animals was carried on without any legal restrictions. Farm- ers and men of experience, who had become fa- miliar, through long observation, with animal sickness and diseases, prescribed and administered the necessary remedies, and in every section of the county there came to be men who were rec- ognized for their skill in curing domestic ani- mals of their various ailments. Then (April I Ith), an Act of Assembly was passed by the legislature of Pennsylvania which related to the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery, and every practitioner of this particular branch of the profession was obliged to be a graduate of a regularly chartered veterinary college, and to register his qualifications in the prothonotary's office of the county where he practiced ; but all those who had practiced for five years before were allowed to register by filing the necessary


affidavits, within six months after the passage of the act. This legislation was brought about by the efforts of the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Association, which had been organized in 1883. The first president was James W. Sallade, then of Pottsville, but formerly of Berks county. In 1909, the membership was 200.


In 1895, a State Board of Veterinary Ex- aminers was established by an act passed on May 16th, and all practitioners after that date not therefore registered were obliged to secure a certificate from this State Board, which had to be filed in the prothonotary's office of the county where the practitioners resided. This act was amended in 1905, which authorized the Secretary of State to issue a license on the board's certifi- cate, and this license qualified the practitioners to practice anywhere in the state.


The State Board was created for the purpose of looking after the sanitary condition of live- stock in Pennsylvania, and in 1907, Dr. Otto G. Noack, of Reading, was appointed agent for the entire state.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.


OSTEOPATHY.


A school of medical science whose therapeutic system constitutes a practice of treating disease in all forms without the aid of drugs was insti- tuted in 1874 by Dr. A. T. Still, of Baldwin, Kans., who is known as the founder of the "School of Osteopathy."


The first college was started in 1892 in Kirks- ville, Mo. Since that time other colleges have been established in the principal centers of the United States, and there are now osteopathic practitioners in all the large cities and most of the larger towns in the country.


The practice of osteopathy has been legally acknowledged in forty states; and in many states there is an independent examining and licensing board, or an osteopathic representative on the State Board of Health.


A bill was laid before the legislature of Penn- sylvania at the session of 1904 for the purpose of legalizing the practice in Pennsylvania, and passed, but not approved by the governor. It was, however, recognized in 1909, the act regu- lating the practice having been approved March 9th.


The osteopaths have been organized into state associations ; also one national called "The American Osteopathic Association," but none local on account of the limited number.


The first graduated physician to practice osteo- pathy at Allentown was Dr. Sanford T. Lyne, of Kansas, Mo., who located here in 1898. He attended the "School of Osteopathy" at Bald- win, Kansas, and in 1901 was also graduated from the College at Kirksville, Mo.


The other practitioners here of this school are:

DENTISTRY.


The practice of dentistry was not carried on as a distinct profession in Lehigh county until about 1830. The first dental college was estab- lished at Baltimore shortly before that time, and the next was at Philadelphia in 1851. Thereto- fore regular physicians extracted teeth. The re- pair of teeth and the supply of false teeth then were rare, confined almost entirely to great cities and indulged in by people of means.
